2015 Gear Swap

Our largest annual fundraiser happened last Sunday April 26th. And it was yet another big success! After a Friday evening and Saturday morning of taking gear in, we had collected a great assortment of pre-loved gear and bikes. A couple people were one day off and showed up Saturday, as it was the first time we hosted the swap on a different day. But Sunday morning came around without the prospected rain, and a nice line up with members who were allowed to shop half an hour before non-members.

After the morning rush, a steady stream of visitors kept coming through. It made for a lovely day at Jaycee House, where lots of amazing deals were to be had. We were impressed by the quality of the product this year!

We are pleased to tell you that over 45 bikes sold! We also had a great amount people leaving with memberships, trail passes, NSMBA branded socks and raffle tickets! After expenses, we are extremely happy to let you know we made about $6000! Attics are cleaned up, sheds are stocked again and the NSMBA will be working on more fine trail projects.

And now for the best part of this little write up of yet another successful NSMBA event: it could not, and would not have happened without the help of our amazing volunteers!!!

Special thank you to Andrew Szendrey and Simon Fraser University for providing the Mac Mini’s and tech support; Telus for the internet and TD for the bank machines.

See you next year for more pre-loved gear!
